Former Emmerdale actress Charley Webb has been been forced to close down her 'dream business' just two years after leaving the ITV soap.
The soap star, 34, took to Instagram on Wednesday to announce the shock news as she explained that she simply can't find the time in her busy schedule to run her dream company the way she sees fit.
Charley, who played Debbie Dingle on Emmerdale, has been busy selling a range of Scandinavian-inspired handcrafted toys online, but the actress has had to put a halt to it, given her lack of time dedicated to the company.
Taking to Instagram to announce the sad news, the soap favourite penned: "@nordi_babi is closing.
"I’ve loved this chapter and the journey it’s taken us on but we just don’t have the time to run it the way we want to.
"I love everything Scandi so this has been a dream."
In another bittersweet announcement, Charley revealed that she is now offering her customers a big discount in order to clear the stock before Nordi Babi closes forever.
"We’re Closing," Charley wrote. "We’ve loved this journey so much but we just don’t have the time to run it the way we want.
"There’s a 40 per cent closing down sale. Thank you for your support, it’s been the most amazing journey with you all."
Charley set up the business following her departure from Emmerdale.
The talented actress first landed the role of Debbie Dingle back 2002 when she was just 14 years old .
She stayed on the soap for 19 years, but Charley walked away from the ITV soap for good following the birth of her and Matthew's third child, Ace.
Charley confirmed the news that she would be leaving the soap for good last year.
"This is always my most asked question but I've never answered it before because I've never wanted to make a big deal of it," Charley said at the time.
"I left to have Ace 2 years ago. I went back at the end of last year for 10 weeks to complete a storyline. So, I guess officially it's been a year. I never felt the need to announce it which is why we didn't."
